nike shows starbucks some love

it’s no news that starbucks is nike co-founder phil knite’s favorite coffee house, since he placed a shop on the campus of the company’s european headquarters many years ago.

apparently this is not where the company’s love for starbucks stops, as one of nike’s classics got a new look, which was inspired by the coffee chain’s color palette.

this time the sporting goods house transformed the nike dunk low, a classic basketball shoe from 1985 and turned it into a premium skateboard sneaker.

the latest release is called nike dunk low premium sb and it comes in khaki, white and pine green. the upper is colored in a marbleized deep brown and khaki, which is intened to resemble the  blending of cream in a cup of java. next to that, white and green are used on the sole, the outsole and the tongue, which are the same color patterns featured on starbucks’ to-go cups.

the latest release is a hot item for sneaker collectors and will be sold out quickly. if you want to cop these bad boys, think fast and get them online at rock city kicks for eur 89.90 ($100).
